Cop in America doing a bad job, again

- The white officer claimed that her black neighbor's door was ajar at the time
- But video obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com shows that the doors in the Dallas apartment building automatically slam shut if let go
- Second video shows Guyger could not have used her key to force open his door
- The apartment door numbers are also clearly visible and lit up in neon
- DailyMail.com can also reveal that Guyger had made noise complaints about Jean, 26, to the building management in the days before his death

Guyger claimed in her affidavit that Jean's door was already ajar when she entered and then she shot him dead after he ignored verbal commands.

But video obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, with the aid of a neighbor living on the same floor, shows that the doors in the apartment building have uniformly heavy metal fire doors that automatically slam shut if let go.

A door could only be left ajar if it had been deliberately positioned that way with a door stopper.

Further, as a second DailyMail.com video shows, officer Guyger could not have used her key to force open the door of Jean, whose funeral was held today, despite claiming to have done so in her statement to Texas Rangers.

At the very least, she would have been warned that she was at the wrong door because the unique electronically coded keys used in the South Side Flats building flash red if inserted in the wrong door.

The neighbor, who lives two doors down from cop Amber Guyger, 30, but asked not to be named, said he did not believe the petite blonde would have been able to force her way in.

Pointing to his own heavy metal door, the same as both Jean's and Guyger's, he said: 'These are fire doors. You can't really leave it open.

'The key situation too – you can't get into any place, you can't. It's impossible. You can put it in but you can't open it.

'You can put it into somebody else's key hole but you can't open anything. This key isn't programmed for my door – if I put it in, nothing happens apart from this red light.'

This is the third US related thread where the words disgusting and despicable come to mind when reading through it. And, am just talking about today.

Are they trying to twist the whole thing, by saying a warrant was issued to search his home, ganja was found and THEN he got shot?
I'm surprised they haven't "found" a gun?
 
So Botham's door is now reported as being clearly numbered, having a planter and a red doormat as well as a fire door that closes fast by design? If that's all correct and this lady's telling the truth then either it was wedged open or he'd just gone in and the door hadn't had chance to shut.

It all seems so extremely unlikely.
 
So basically, the copper didnt like the neighbour so she shot and killed him and is now making up some story about mistakenly going into the appartment.

At least that's what I take away from it.

I don't think we should speculate like that. Only she knows what happened but her story is unreasonable and the evidence doesn't appear to back any of it up. I was kind of feeling sorry for her thinking she'd made a terrible mistake, but not so much now.

No, the ganja bit is just to show the victim in a bad light and attack his character. The officer is now claiming that the victim did not respond to her warnings and that is why she shot him. But, if the facts mentioned in the Daily Mail article above are true, then looks like a) she had previous grudge against him, b) she could not have forced open the door as she previously claimed due to the nature of the locks, and c) she is not being truthful.

The cop's initial story of entering the wrong apartment and shooting him thinking he was a victim looks like a well cooked lie. And soon after charges were brought against her, we start hearing a different story that he did not respond to her commands and that he was in possession of weed. So, that is just an attempt to show the victim in a bad light to excuse the cop's cnutish behaviour. Despicable stuff.

Disgusting. He was shot dead in his own home by a cop, and her version of the events doesn't seem to line up with what witnesses report. But the shithead cop gets protected, and is allowed to have her story leaked to the press, while they smear the dead person who can't give his side of it.
 
The noise complaint stuff seems like it shouldn't be buried so far down in the article.

She is a fecking liar. Time and time again the police lie when it comes to shooting unarmed civilians.
Im pretty sure she murdered this guy as her story about the door is fecking stupid. If her story is true then she is too fecking dumb to scrub toilets never mind a police officer.

Welcome to America, where smoking the good stuff in you're own abode while black is more serious then an off duty cop breaking in to you're apartment and shooting you.

I agree speculating is bad, but as you say, I was feeling bad for her as well, but sonething just sounds very wrong about this.
 
RedTiger said:
Why? Are you implying that she deliberately killed him because of prior arguments? Pfft. He was large, black and intimidating and he had weed FFS!

The Devil's Tobacco, known for making you aggressive and violent. Plus, he was probably ignoring her commands in an aggressive and threatening manner.

Disappointed but not surprised. This has been going on for decades
I hope he gets put in with all the other people he arrested fraudulently, since they won’t be retried.

Then again, he faces up to 2 and a half years in jail, half the time of the people he falsely accused of their crimes.

Like I said, the whole system is fecked up.
 
why are they only charging the Botham Jean killer with manslaughter, just because she said it was an accident?

The Youtube channel that posted this has a lot of other body cam footage. There is one where a cop is in a car chase and is being fired upon. At one point, the cop gets close to the car and starts firing through his windshield and side window. They eventually hit the guy and the chase ends. As much as I support police and everything they do to keep us safe, this particular instance irks me to the core. So many bullets flying with no regard for bystanders and where those bullets could end up. The safe and proper approach would be to back off and let the heli track the guy.

An armed gunman that robbed someone at gunpoint and then shot an officer and an innocent bystander? Yeah those officers are out of control.

Do you think criminals have the mindset that if they draw their weapons then it's pretty much given that they won't get out alive? If so I wonder if this leads to more gunfights when they come up against the police?

Obviously there's not much can be done about that but I just wonder if this is the case.

Suicide by cop is common, whether they realize it is the question.

I think it’s a fairly common thought that anyone would have when they put themselves in a situation with a gun against other armed people. Doesn’t necessarily have to be police.

We do get quite a number of calls for BOLO’s about people who have told family or friends that they’re going out and have mentioned suicide by cop.
